Position of the land as shown _____-
At Tambun the cays are clearly exposed in Leong Phee’s Mine and they were once well exposed in
the New Tambun Mine. In both they are on juxtaposition with bedded sediments, weathered to the
consistency of clay. In the New Tambun Mine a few boulders were found, believed to have come
from the clay. In Leong Phee’s Mine I have found none, but small masses of cassiterite crystals have
been found.
At Tanjong rambutan there are two large mines, the kinta association mine and rambutan, ltd. In the
former of these there is good evidence of clayey and sandy beds underlying a hill of weathered
phyllites, an d containing enormous boulders. These boulders had been noticed in the mine in 1911
but there was some doubt then whether they might not be weathered portions of large quartz veins.
In the earlier edition they were described as boulders, on the evidence of some very clear sections.
The only objection now to the view of their being boulders brought from a distance is that a mining-
engineer on the mine informed me that he had once seen what he took to be the section of a
quartz-vein in clay in the mine. Big quartz-veins, capable of providing such masses as these boulders
occur in the Federated Malay States and there is one not far from Tanjung Rambutan, near the Kinta
River. A very large view occurs near kuala lumpur an dDr. Jones mentions one near Kuang.
Compared with the beds at Tambun and further to the south these beds are markedly sandy. They
are seen in one section dipping slightly to the N.W. The Majority of the boulders are quartz, but
there occur also granite, fine grained and light coloured quartz-porphyry, phyllites, black shales,
quartz-miea rocks, and quartz-tourmaline rocks. I have fund one boulder of partially altered granitic
quartz-porphyry resembling the flat boulders found to the south. All the very large boulders that I
have been are of quartz. Some of the smaller boulders are well rounded, but the majority of the
boulders are angular. Kaolin occurs in the sandy clays, and under one large boulder and elsewhere I
saw several soft masses with rounded outline that are granitic rocks weathered to soft clay. Boulders
so weathered have been seen at Gopeng.
